Fatal Utah crash: Driver was viewing a porn site, police say

Christine Chao, a 44-year-old Californian, was charged with automobile homicide on October 20, 2026, four months after a fatal crash on Utah’s I-15. Charging documents say her phone accessed a pornographic website less than two minutes before the collision, which occurred in traffic slowed by roadworks.
